Broken Promises

You let me in so I could guide your hand A quest for gold that yielded lead So many things I still don't understand Would rear their ugly heads instead No instigation, just run away With nothing to fall back on, no skin left to flay What you needed the most were no more of these ghosts of my broken promises What you needed the most never even came close to my broken promises Sedated sorrow palms a lazy coin You'll find no vindication here Flashing a fast lane if you've come to join The ill fated fortune of the year Castles we built now crumble like smiles Skeleton hope now eaten by trials What you needed the most were no more of these ghosts of my broken promises What you needed the most never even came close to my broken promises How you choose to wear your heart Is how they'll cast your part How you choose to wear your heart You wear a world upon your sleeve The way you choose to wear your heart Is how they will tear you apart Do you choose to save the world or to deceive
